Assigned to one purpose or function.
Any discrete electronic item connected to a network which either transmits and receives information through it, facilitates that transmission and reception, or monitors the operation of the network directly.
Distributed LAN Monitor. DLM is a feature of some SNMP management devices which allows that device to locally monitor other devices under its control and report to a central network management station any noted errors. This frees the network management station from directly monitoring every SNMP device.
Desktop Network Interface. DNI cards are devices which are added to workstations to provide them with a connection to a network (NIC).
Connected to an FDDI dual
A station connection method for FDDI which connects a device’s A/B ports to the M ports of two separate
Electronic Erasable Programmable
A security process which encodes raw data into a form that cannot be utilized or read without decryption.
Ethernet Port Interface Module. EPIMs are added to
A networking technology which allows any station on the network to transmit at any time, provided it has checked the network for existing traffic, waited for the network to be free, and checked to ensure the transmission did not suffer a collision with another transmission. See also CSMA/CD.
A networking technology based on the Ethernet technology. Fast Ethernet operates at 10 Mbps, ten times the speed of standard Ethernet networks.
The ability of a design (device or network) to operate at full or reduced capacity after suffering a failure of some essential component or connection. See also redundant.
